Felt this was worth posting especially since I can't recall another show like it ever. Plus, Craig Harris is rumored to be making his first public appearance since leaving IGN. Might that be relevant to your interests?

Why: To raise money for Child's Play
Here at Nintendo World Report, we've long been supporters of Child's Play, the fantastic charity that provides toys and games to hospitalized kids. So, when our old friend Karl Castaneda brought us an idea for doing a special, live-streaming version of RFN to support Child's Play, we got excited. Not only can we do things live that don't make sense in the recorded version, like real-time listener interaction, but the lack of editing means there are fewer constraints on how long the show can run. Then we thought... why not do it telethon-style, all day long? With a respectful nod to Desert Bus for Hope, we present RFN: Doin' It Live... for the Kids!
The idea is pretty simple: keep donating money for this great cause, and we'll keep podcasting. The first hour is free, and each additional hour will have an increasing donation goal to keep us going. It should be self-limiting, but since we aren't set up for Desert Bus-type endurance runs, we'll have a maximum of 12 hours. Can you imagine it, up to 12 hours of Radio Free Nintendo insanity? To make that happen, we'll need to raise a lot of money for sick kids. And to make you want to hear more and more of the show and keep donating, we need to offer exciting programming each hour. If you have any ideas or requests, please let us know in advance! You can also get updates on the event and help spread the word by connecting to RFN on Facebook.
***If you are new to RFN, please be advised that the show contains explicit language. We're doin' it for the kids, but the show itself is for grown-ups.***
